I had never really looked into the benefit of owning CCL stock.  I can't find how far in advance do I need to purchase?  Was thinking I might see if the stock will go down a little?  We don't sail until June 2024.  TIA!

the form says you need to submit no later than 4 weeks prior to sailing date.  you should be able to produce an account holding statement the same day or next day after you purchase, so a month out would be my suggestion for the latest to wait.  Although I think the first time I did one I was only maybe 3 weeks out and it still applied, so your mileage may vary.

You will simply need to show a single statement showing ownership, that statement should be no older than 6 months old.  

Thanks!

If you cruise at least 14 days a year, the stock buy is a no brainer at today's price of about $15 as share.
